Description

The Real Story of the Devil's Guard In the aftermath of World War II, the French Foreign Legion recruited former German soldiers to fight in Indochina. These men, brutalised by the war on the Eastern Front, were offered a new identity and passport to start anew in the jungles and rice paddies of what was to become Vietnam. The Legion's recruitment was based on the skills and experience of these ruthless, trained killers, who had honed their killing abilities to a razor's edge. The result was a formidable fighting force, feared for their brutal military efficiency. The Devil's Guard, as they came to be known, became a byword for the Legion's ruthless tactics and unwavering dedication to their mission. This book tells the true story of one such former Waffen-SS man, who lived to tell the tale of his experiences in Indochina. Eric Meyer's book is a gripping and unflinching account of the real story behind the myths and legends of the Devil's Guard.
